Kodi (XBMC) Frodo / Gotham / Isengard / Jarvis / repository.vc.zip

« on: February 07, 2019, 09:44:31 PM »

Where is the official place to get this? repository.vc.zip
I had one saved, I replace my kodi instance and just realized I never reinstalled this.
The backup i have is a ZIP file that is  197kb and I can install from ZIP
When installing the addon from Kodi it lists Author Jitterjames, Version 1.0.0 in the Repo info pane
but when i try to install from repo it says "Could not connect to repo"?
I have unknown sources checked...etc

Im running RPI 3B+ LibreElec Kodi 17.6. Really love to get my smart lists back.

General Discussion / Discord

« on: April 26, 2018, 02:54:33 PM »

Recently discovered Discord.  I agree w/ other user here I dont think VC gets enough proper play as a legit Home Automation tool.  I just recently got into HomeAssistant and some other tools and after going thru reddits and forums and githubs, I discovered a Hass Discord Channel that is pretty lively.  Any thoughts migrating VC to Discord platform?

Kodi (XBMC) Frodo / Gotham / Isengard / Jarvis / Kodi MySql

« on: March 02, 2018, 07:20:50 PM »

Does VC hard code look only for port 3306 for MySql db connections for XBMC/Kodi? 
I am running mysql via docker container so the published port is different 'outside' the container

Other Plugins / TP Link Kasa Smart Plugs

« on: September 23, 2017, 01:14:52 PM »

Sorry i been off a bit.  Got married, had a kid so been in the weeds w/ other things.
My tablet that was using was having major issues and suddenly started working again so I resurrected my VOX to glory.

Still rusty but
Just thought I'd share this. The write up is pretty good and rather comprehensive,....so I'll just link it vs trying to parse it or anything.
Goes over how to get your auth token, then your enumerate your devices, and then make the state changes.
I was too lazy/rusty to do the JSON w/in Vox so I just put the call in a powershell and strangely that was easier for me, cause Ive been doing some powershell at work.
But would probably be much more streamlined and efficient to do a scrape or whatever natively in VOX. J

This will let you mimic the same functionality of their very basic mobile app, so you can enumerate all your plugs, and get their current states and turn them on / off and do far richer macros in VOX.

Kodi (XBMC) Frodo / Gotham / Isengard / Jarvis / Multiplie Kodi client support

« on: February 25, 2016, 10:19:11 PM »

Bear with me I know this doesn't make as much sense on the surface.
But w/ VC's API I find it handy to do stuff with the API calls w/ tellvox...etc.
So sometimes be easier if I could just use my laptop to do something on an ancillary kodi client.
Would it ever be possible/considered to support additional kodi clients?
 I know I think I could run multiple instances on the same machine but i think just being able to make leveraging a single VC instance would be nicer.

Kodi (XBMC) Frodo / Gotham / Isengard / Jarvis / In Progress TV shows help?

« on: October 17, 2015, 11:10:45 PM »

Tried the parse the logs but still no luck.
Trying to mimmick the Browse 'recently added movies/tv...etc" commands but a Browse In Progress TV Shows which is also a default Kodi view. the logs aren't showing me much from kodi. Anyone w/ more luck/insight?

Code: [Select]

01_KODI.log 892792 11:35:57 T:139836946114304   DEBUG: JSONRPC: Incoming request: {"params": {"sort": {"order": "descending", "method": "lastplayed"}, "filter": {"and": [{"operator": "lessthan", "field": "playcount", "value": "1"}, {"operator": "true", "field": "inprogress", "value": ""}]}, "properties": ["title", "studio", "mpaa", "file", "art"], "limits": {"end": 20}}, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "VideoLibrary.GetTVShows"}
01_KODI.log 639663 10:07:54 T:139836031702784   DEBUG: UPnP Translated id to 'library://video/inprogressshows.xml/'

The entry from favorites.xml shows

Code: [Select]

    <favourite name="In progress TV shows" thumb="DefaultInProgressShows.png">ActivateWindow(10025,&quot;library://video/inprogressshows.xml/&quot;,return)</favourite>
however when I cloned one of the default 'browse to recently added tv' commands (where also the 'in progress tv shows' is in the same list on my kodi view)  I can't seem to get to work, it jumps to screen with all these default lists but doesn't 'enter into ' it
"inprogresstvshows"
"inprogressshows"
"inprogressshows.xml"
All just jump to that root list but not into the list/view.


Searching my system for the inprogressshows.xml I found these:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<node order="4" type="filter" visible="Library.HasContent(TVShows)">
  <label>626</label>
  <icon>DefaultInProgressShows.png</icon>
  <content>tvshows</content>
  <rule field="inprogress" operator="true" />
</node>
Camau:/usr/share/kodi/system/library/video # cat recentlyaddedepisodes.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<node order="11" type="folder" visible="Library.HasContent(TVShows)">
  <label>20387</label>
  <icon>DefaultRecentlyAddedEpisodes.png</icon>
  <path>videodb://recentlyaddedepisodes/</path>
</node>
Does anyone know what this is?

  <path>videodb://recentlyaddedepisodes/</path>

what database is that?
I just searched my MySql database and i can't find 'recentlyaddedepisodes' in the MyVideos90 database?

I'm gonna brave it and likely asking a ludicrous question but is it possible to run VC as a windows service?

Kodi (XBMC) Frodo / Gotham / Isengard / Jarvis / Kodi Events

« on: May 13, 2015, 01:36:26 PM »

Trying to use Kodi events? win8.1 // VC 2.142
But not seeing them in the Vc history pane
Installed Eventghost to see if my configuration for kodi was incorrect but event ghost worked and produced an event
XBMC2.Player.OnStop.episode {u'item': {u'id': 82792}, u'end': False}
I use a different http port than 80 but the test on both EventGhost / VC test fine. my Webinterface is fine.
EventServer on EventGhost is defaulted at 9777 and the JSON RPC notifications is 9090 I have both set to enable.
The Json plugin setting for notifications is too on 9090?
Any insights friends?

Infrared Codes (Learning and Sending) / Global Itach

« on: May 12, 2015, 01:02:50 PM »

I think I'm ready to invest in trying out an Itach, but curious from comments and such.
Do people typically configure right next to their devices?
I assume as a blaster, I could just blast at typical 'remote control' ranges ie from my couch ie if I got the wifi itach?

But then I wonder why there are 3 outputs on the backplane if I would only need one blaster? Anyone offer insights?
Thanks, cheers.

Bug Reports / AudioEndpoint?

« on: May 10, 2015, 05:23:27 PM »

I recently decided to migrate my VC installation to a new machine after updating the latest version of VC on my existing Win7 implementation and use the newest VoxWav app.
I backedup my VC Folder
Created a new VM virgin system install of win8.1pro
I copied my VC folder to new machine.
I reran setup to a different folder, after realizing missing a prerequisite. C++ pkg the installler installs for you.
Everything mostly seems ok, but I noticed the AudioEndpoint plug shows checked but I do not see the plugin config window and the plugin otherwise I do not believe is working.
When i tried to test some commands in the command editor the logs show.

5/10/2015 3:16:01 PM   407   Action ERROR: Unknown base action:AudioEndpoint

General Discussion / New RPi 2 windows 10 support

« on: February 02, 2015, 12:06:15 PM »

I'm super interested in this newer RPi if it has windows 10 support.  Would VC run on it, since its ARM based, not sure, but I think VC uses .NET so maybe?

Python Scripting / Python tester

« on: April 30, 2014, 01:21:11 PM »

Not sure what to call it, but the python tester part of the PY plugin
http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Python


This is cool in app quick tester. I know its not meant to be an IDE, but w/ python being case/indent sensitive, can the tab key but used in there to indent versus change object focus?

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / LG TVs

« on: April 23, 2014, 11:31:39 PM »

Anyone ever manage to get LG TV control?
Mostly I would like to switch inputs and for certain reasons we're using HDMI passthru from TV to amp for sound vs going through amp first.
Seems like they have a pairing requirement with at least some protocol
